ABOUT THIS BOOK
Description
Life of Luxury and Rebellion
In a lavish sitting room, a group of young men laughed uncontrollably, surrounded by half-eaten food and empty plates. Among them sat a striking young man — legs crossed, dressed in designer wear that clung perfectly to his frame, puffing on a cigarette with confidence. His name was Nasir Al’Husen, not more than 24, but his aura screamed wealth and defiance.
Nasir came from a wealthy, Western-educated family that paid little attention to religion. Most of them pursued worldly knowledge and status, with only a few still holding onto Islamic teachings. Nasir, raised and educated in America from the age of 16, absorbed all the vices the West offered—casual sex, alcohol, drugs, and women.
A Heart for Pleasure, Not Marriage
Nasir was addicted to pleasure. He didn’t commit to any woman and had no intention of marrying. If a woman caught his eye, he would go to any length to have her—even spending outrageous amounts of money. Despite his reckless lifestyle, Nasir wasn't a full-time addict—he partied only with close friends and avoided anything that could ruin his image.
His parents had different views of him. His father knew of his wayward life and only prayed silently for his change. His mother, a loving, overindulgent woman, saw no wrong in anything he did. That leniency made Nasir emotionally close to her, but distant and rebellious toward his father.
The Playboy Circle
At the heart of Nasir’s lifestyle were his friends—loyal enablers who cheered him on. One of them, Mansur, nudged him playfully and whispered about a new girl in town. Nasir smirked.
“You know I don’t like kids. I want mature girls—real women I can feel everywhere,” he said with a crooked grin.
Mansur laughed. “Girls throw themselves at you. You don’t even chase them anymore.”
Nasir exhaled a cloud of smoke. “That’s because they know the taste. Once they’ve had me, they always come back.”
Another friend, Anwar, asked how he knew which girls were “tasty.” Nasir replied coolly, “It’s a gift. I’ve studied women deeply. It’s not magic—it’s just experience.”
A Warning Unheeded
Abdul Latif, Nasir’s cousin, and the only voice of reason among them, couldn’t stay silent anymore. “You guys have forgotten this world is temporary,” he warned. “You’ll reap what you sow. Fear Allah before it’s too late.”
The others scoffed and laughed him off.
“Look at Mr. Preacher!” Anwar mocked. “Did you come here to ruin the vibe?”
Abdul Latif shook his head, disappointed but used to their mockery. “I’ve said my part. May Allah guide you all.”
He left, and the rest erupted into laughter again. Nasir didn’t bat an eye—he simply went inside to get ready.
Rockstar Appearance
Nasir emerged moments later looking like a celebrity—clad in designer shorts, a sleeveless shirt printed with rapper 50 Cent, expensive jewelry, and American-style cornrows. His shoes alone cost a small fortune. The look was completed with a massive silver wristwatch and layered gold chains.
“You look fire!” Abbas, another friend, exclaimed. “You could pass for 50 Cent himself!”
Nasir grinned. “Still my favorite artist. No one matches his swag.”
The group headed out, Nasir locking his private suite before entering a sleek, jet-black convertible. The car roared to life as Rihanna’s voice blared from the speakers, shaking the compound.
A Silent Observer
As the car sped toward the gate, Malam Ya’u, the old gatekeeper, hurried to open it. A young girl—his daughter—watched everything from a distance. Her heart sank seeing how Nasir and his friends dressed and behaved. They didn’t look like Muslims at all.
She vowed that day: If I’m home and they come, I will never open that gate again!
Still, she helped her father open it. Surprisingly, Nasir stopped, rolled down his window, and greeted the old man with a wide smile. “Assalamu alaikum, Malam Ya’u!”
“Wa alaikum salam, Nasiru,” the old man replied warmly, before quickly advising, “Please don’t forget your prayers. This world is deceptive. Don’t let it mislead you.”
Nasir, used to the lectures, only smiled and nodded. “In sha Allah,” he said with no real intention of changing.
The Road to Destruction
As the car sped off, laughter echoed from within. The boys had no fear, no plans, no faith guiding them. They lived for the moment, for parties, for lust, for thrill. But somewhere, far in the distance, fate watched silently—waiting.
One could only wonder: How long could a soul run wild before the world caught up?
